gtsam::KalmanFilter Class Reference

Detailed Description

Kalman Filter class.

Knows how to maintain a Gaussian density under linear-Gaussian motion and measurement models. It uses the square-root information form, as usual in GTSAM.

The filter is functional, in that it does not have state: you call init() to create an initial state, then predict() and update() that create new states out of an old state.

◆ init()

KalmanFilter::State gtsam::KalmanFilter::init ( const Vector &  x0,
const SharedDiagonal &  P0 
) const

Create initial state, i.e., prior density at time k=0 In Kalman Filter notation, these are x_{0|0} and P_{0|0}.

Parameters
x0estimate at time 0
P0covariance at time 0, given as a diagonal Gaussian 'model'

◆ predict2()

KalmanFilter::State gtsam::KalmanFilter::predict2 ( const State p,
const Matrix &  A0,
const Matrix &  A1,
const Vector &  b,
const SharedDiagonal &  model 
) const

Predict the state P(x_{t+1}|Z^t) In Kalman Filter notation, this is x_{t+1|t} and P_{t+1|t} After the call, that is the density that can be queried.

Details and parameters: This version of predict takes GaussianFactor motion model [A0 A1 b] with an optional noise model.

◆ update()

KalmanFilter::State gtsam::KalmanFilter::update ( const State p,
const Matrix &  H,
const Vector &  z,
const SharedDiagonal &  model 
) const

Update Kalman filter with a measurement For the Kalman Filter, the measurement function, h(x_{t}) = z_{t} will be of the form h(x_{t}) = H*x_{t} + v where H is the observation model/matrix, and v is zero-mean, Gaussian white noise with covariance R.

In this version, R is restricted to diagonal Gaussians (model parameter)
